BEAUTIFUL EXCURSION I RECOMMEND WITHOUT HESITATION - We booked this tour through GetYourGuide at their home and it was a beautiful day. Mr Slavo Ventsislav, the manager, picked us up from our hotel with a van, he spoke German and English which facilitated the conversation, we again looked for two other guests. This day is superbly well organized and we had time to do everything and have lunch. I recommend this outing and this tour Operator without hesitation. Thank you again and we will keep a very nice memory of this excursion. The photos speak for themselves.

This tour is a must!!! - We are extremely happy with our tour to the cliffs and the cave. Avi, our guide, was amazing, funny and very knowledgeable! She picked us up and dropped us off at our accommodation. We’re a family of four- 2 adults, 11 yo and a 9yo. The ride to the Belogradchik cliffs was approximately 3 hrs. We traveled in a large, comfortable , air conditioned van. We enjoyed seeing the countryside of Bulgaria during the ride. Stunning nature! The Belogradchik cliffs were breathtakingly beautiful! You get to go all the way to the top via staircases. I have a fear of heights, however, with Avi’s help I felt comfortable going up and I am very grateful to her! That is to tell you, that for most climbing up would be a piece of cake. After a lunch break in a restaurant with views of the cliffs, we headed to Venetsa cave about 20 min away. It’s a really cool cave to explore! This tour is a must!! We’re very happy with our experience!

Rugged and spectacular fortress - Our guide and driver was very skilled and knowledgeable. The drive although was monotonous was worth it when we arrived at the Belogradchik Fortress. The view from the top was breathtaking and it was very tranquil and rugged. The Venetsa cave was interesting and well planned and lit.
